[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8704917, member: 7808"] At this point, there is no "master plan". They had an idea to squat on some trademarks, and an idea to make a tourist trap in Lake Geneva. Everything beyond that is a combination of improvisation and the Dunning-Kruger effect. If Justin LaNasa (or possibly someone else) is deposed in the WotC suit, they can be asked questions about where these files came from. At that point, they either have to admit they were blatantly ripping off the Star Frontiers IP that they didn't own, or come up with an explanation of where all the documents came from. Either way, it's highly unlikely to look good for NuTSR. From what I can see, nothing that was shared by NuTSR shows any evidence that anything was faked in any way. There's always the sliver of chance that someone else hacked them or somehow did it, but nothing provided so far even hints at it. And honestly, if someone was going to go to that level of trouble, wouldn't it be better to go after financials or something better than just internet drama? I was pretty sure I didn't stand a chance to make the list because I don't post enough on Twitter or Facebook, but I was kinda hoping ENWorld would get better representation. Oh well, at least we have our spot in Cult of Abaddon. [/QUOTE]
